Barcelona defender Inigo Martinez suffers injury scare ahead of Las Palmas clash

Barcelona may have to cope without Inigo Martinez on Saturday when Hansi Flick’s side take on Las Palmas in La Liga.

Martinez is suffering from “muscle discomfort” in his leg and is considered a “serious doubt” for the game, according to Diario Sport.

The defender has played a key role for Barca this season, and Flick is said to be unwilling to take any risks, meaning he could miss out.

Martinez’s absence would mean that Eric Garcia could partner Pau Cubarsi in the starting XI after returning to fitness. Sergi Dominguez is another option for the Barca boss.
